i386/a-b-bootblock: zero the first byte of each page on start

The migration qtest all the way up to this point used to work by sheer
luck relying on the contents of all pages from 1MiB to 100MiB to contain
the same one value in the first byte initially.

This easily breaks if we reduce the amount of RAM for the test instances
from 150MiB to e.g 110MiB since that makes SeaBIOS dirty some of the
pages starting at about 0x5dd2000 (~93 MiB) as it reuses those for the
HighMemory allocator since commit dc88f9b72df ("malloc: use large
ZoneHigh when there is enough memory").

This would result in the following errors:
    12/60 qemu:qtest+qtest-x86_64 / qtest-x86_64/migration-test                 ERROR           2.74s   killed by signal 6 SIGABRT
    stderr:

    Memory content inconsistency at 5ddb000 first_byte = cc last_byte = cb current = 1a hit_edge = 1
    and in another 26 pages**
    ERROR:../tests/qtest/migration-test.c:300:check_guests_ram: assertion failed: (bad == 0)

Fix this by always zeroing the first byte of each page in the range so
that we get consistent results no matter the initial contents.
